Chapter 359 - Besties should always be like this...

"I don't want to marry you because no matter what, I'll be the only person who will marry you. Even if you don't agree, I'll pull you to the aisle and yell loudly…Yes, I love you honey and I'm ready to tie the knot with you anywhere and any moment you ask for me.."

Reuben smiled brightly at her and got up from the floor but before he could took the ring out of the box, Veronica jumped on to him and engulfed him in a tight hug as she started crying on his chest.

Reuben balanced themselves at first and then wrapped his arms around her waist tightly, embracing her in warm hug.

Kissing the top of her head, he caressed her back to pacify her as she was sobbing hysterically in his soothing embrace.

Her tears were replica of her true emotions which had only love, fondness and infinite amount of trust..

"It's okay love! You can cry as much as you want. But if we don't exchange the rings right now, then our mothers will go crazy on me because they had clearly notified me that we need to be done with our engagement before their so called auspicious time ends." Reuben joked to make the mood lighter while others laughed at his poky comments.

Veronica too chuckled and hit him on the chest playfully before she moved away a little from him.

Reuben wiped off the tear strains from her angelic face and kissed her forehead lightly which brought a smile on her lips instantly.

Reuben then held her left hand in his left one and kissed it softly which made everyone present there smile at the couple's sweetness.

Taking the ring out, Reuben slowly slid it into her ring finger which earned a round of applause from the guests.

The moment Veronica noticed the design of the ring and her mouth opened wide in shock as she stuttered, "Bennie, it's the design that I.."

Before Veronica could complete, Reuben cut off her and said, "Yes, it's the same ring that you had designed a year ago, coordinating with the pendant I gifted you on our first date."

The ring had a very sophisticated design with simple curving but it was absolutely innovative. It was divided into two parts horizontally..

The first part had a big shining diamond placed in the middle of the golden plate. And the second part had been carved in a design of small leaves which matches the pendant and had the same meaning..

It was really beautiful and precious than any other heavyweight rings..

Veronica was completely impressed with Reuben's efforts and she guessed rightly that the planning of the party had started way before her known date..

"If this ring is here, then where is yours? If I'd have known about the surprise engagement then I'd have prepared the ring for you which I had designed along with mine.." Veronica complained while pouting cutely.

Reuben chuckled and replied, "Don't worry love! I've arranged everything beforehand."

Then he motioned to Mrs. Smith to bring the ring and gave it to Veronica. When she noticed it, she was again dumbfounded with all the preparations.

It was the same ring with more magnificent details. The ring was made of platinum and a huge diamond in a round shape which was connected the two sides of the ring in a intricate way..

Although this ring was also simple but it was lavish in both price and design. The outstanding shine of the ring could snatch anyone's attraction to it..

Veronica smiled holding the ring and asked Reuben for his hand. Taking his right hand in hers, she kissed the top of his hand like the way Reuben did which again made the guests go haywire with the lovey dobey moments.

After that, she slid the ring in his ring finger which again gained another big round of applause. But the show hadn't ended yet.

With a swift movement, Reuben pulled Veronica towards him, holding her waist and sealed his lips with her.

Veronica too reciprocated with his actions by encircling her arms around his neck as they kissed letting go off all their emotions in the single passionate kiss.

The elders clapped happily at the newly engaged couple whereas their friends started hooting loudly for them. While the guests also joined them in clapping and cheering..

Few seconds later, both of them pulled away and pecked each other for the last time with a lovely smile on their faces..

As soon as they parted from themselves, they had been pulled into a hug by their friends as they congratulated them..

"Oh My God!! I still can't believe that my little sister had grown up so much that she is now someone's fiance.!!" Henry said lovingly to her.

Neil also caressed Veronica's hair and said, "I'm happy that my sister got the bestest proposal of the world."

Veronica smiled at both of her brothers and said while hugging them, "It was indeed the best proposal. It'd not be possible without you guys.."

"Excuse me! If you're done with your brother-sister moment, then let us also congratulate our bestie.." Lucinda said, pushing the boys away.

"Congratulations girl! The three of us are now all engaged with our loved ones." Willa said excitedly.

Lucinda pecked Veronica's cheeks and replied, "Yes! Besties should always be like this.."

Veronica laughed at them and said, "Yes! Of course.."

Whereas Louis went to his brother, "Bro, it was seriously a damn proposal. I'm proud of you."

Reuben narrowed his eyes at him but before he could retort, Jack interrupted him by saying, "I'm happy for you too bro. I'm very much relieved that my sister is in good hand!"

Diana and Myra also congratulated both of the couples but they were more busy to observe Veronica closely as she was weeping in her parents' embrace being too much happy with the events..

The Lopez elders were consoling their daughter when a girly voice interrupted the parents daughter pair in their sweet moment, "Can I also get the chance to congratulate my sister?"
